I'm gonna take a crack at this since it's simple picks.  This is my first venture into this foray so go easy on me.

I'm not picking the Texans this week.

Yeah, probably easier to count who's not picking the Texans. lol

I thought about saving the Texans for another week, but this is a done deal...unfortunately it's against our team.

I'n In.  There is usually always one big upset the first week that knocks a bunch of people out, here's hoping Miami Beats the Texans.

I was walking through my house,not paying attention to what I was doing,tripped over the dog,and found that I fell in....

I've Always been horrible at this (over thinking everything).The past couple of years,only really focusing on a couple of teams (Dolphins -Bears)....So it makes this type of game even harder...I thought I'd give it a try this year...

Me too, but no sympathy for the Buffalo pick.

I've already made my picks for the first 9 weeks... Autopilot engage!

Really happy the Cardinals beat the Pats......did nothing to help me in the Challenge however. LOL

I find it interesting that nobody has the same two winning picks after the first two weeks.


Title: Re: Eliminator Challenge
Post by: SportsChick on September 21, 2012, 02:53:24 pm
what do you mean same winning picks Dave? You can only use a team once


Title: Re: Eliminator Challenge
Post by: Brian Fein on September 21, 2012, 03:21:04 pm
I think he means no one picked the same teams both weeks.  Like if you and I both picked the same teams both weeks.

What has the football world come to when I'm not entirely confident in picking the Saints over the Chiefs?


Title: Re: Eliminator Challenge
Post by: Brian Fein on September 21, 2012, 03:35:02 pm
I got one wrong last week but I'm not eliminated.  what gives?


Title: Re: Eliminator Challenge

^^^I noticed that as well. I was able to pick this week after getting one wrong last week.

Shh...You're going to make me change my pick again!  :D I've waffled 3 times this week

I figured I'd be the only person eliminated week one  :)

It says "if you correctly guess the winner for all 17 games, you'll be in good shape to win the grand prize"  I think the 'good shape' part in insinuating that it'll come down to some percentage points or something.  I've never really done Survivor pools, but I imagine it's rare for someone to get every pick correct

I should have went with my initial feelings...I would have won,but I waffled...and lost...
